Mountain Hardwear Relief Efforts in Haiti

By Mark Dyer, Shelterboxusa.org

Photos of the tents were donated by Mountain Hardwear to the relief efforts in Haiti. ShelterBox agreed to ship them into the country and distribute them along with our normal ten person relief tents. They were picked up in California and Kentucky, and flown into Santa Domingo where they traveled overland to Haiti. As you can see, they are very much appreciated by the recipients, especially with the impending rains coming.

Our team on the ground wanted me to relay the gratitude expressed by the families who were living in these tents. Your willingness to donate these tents has definately made a difference and improved the lives of these families.

Thank you for everything,
